Goren Family History
Goren Name Meaning
Jewish (Ashkenazic): altered form of Horn 5 originating under Russian influence since Russian has no h and alters it to g in borrowed words and names. In Israel the name has been reinterpreted by folk etymology as being from Hebrew goren ‘threshing floor’ which is in fact etymologically and semantically unrelated.
